I don't see any advantage of moving from WhatsApp to Signal or Telegram. From a privacy / security point of view, WhatsApp seems to be better than Telegram, and on par with Signal. What exactly is the reason to change apart from wanting to be hip?
Codebolt calls for the death of BTC, news at 11.

Yeah, yeah, I get it. No one can really know the true price of BTC. It's all speculation. Nothing to back it up... what else do you have?

Understand this: there is a large number of people that will keep working with BTC (and crypto) regardless of price and current market conditions. There is a large number of people that don't care about the price. People will keep building things on crypto, regardless of price and it will become more and more of an alternative to existing financial/economical systems.
All three are either prototypes or in pre-production, you can't really buy any of them right now. They did have prototype Rivians for Long Way Up[1] as support vehicles.

Keep the old Land Rover or Subaru and check again in a year or two for an actual EV 4x4.

Well strictly speaking it's probably worse than a virtual sampler on a tablet as it's a 12-bit sampler with just 30 seconds of sample time available at the highest quality.

Mine also only has floppy discs to load it's OS and samples from. I believe you can retro fit an SD card reader in place of the disc drive.

On the plus side, it does have 8 outputs, which is handy for drums as you can send different samples to different channels and effects. It has a distinctive sound due to being 12 bit and having good filters that you can tweak over midi. It's somewhat similar to a W30 keyboard but in a rack mount and without the sequencer or SCSI.

You can "cheat" with the sample time by making multiple virtual copies of sounds and having them automatically play forward and then reverse in a loop. There's no time stretch as such but it's possible to split a drum break in that way, assign a virtual sample to each beat and push and pull the tempo.

Not sure I'd recommend anyone buy one over just getting software these days but I have it, and it's fun to use occasionally in a retro way.

It's funny to me how misinformation can be used to combat (further) misinformation. Food for thought.
I believe that first vehicles created by some alien civilization would work on a similar principles as ours.

The way vehicles work on Earth is mostly a function of the environment - we use wheels because they work well in our gravity, we use fossil fuels because the history of Earth has made them abundant, we use fixed-wing flight because it works in our relatively dense atmosphere. On an alien planet with much lower gravity they might never have invented the wheel, or one with a much less dense atmosphere they might never have managed to make a wing big enough to support flight. It assumes a lot about an alien work to suggest they have anything like the same sort of problems to overcome that we have.

Your scenario is not founded in reality. Few problems that involve computers are limited by or can primarily be solved by computer technology.
In your example, one of the main challenges is that every missile defense system can be overwhelmed by shear number of attack missiles.

Have a look at what type of microchips are used in “cutting edge” military equipment like fighter jets. They are often decade olds. More speed is simply not important enough.
> To me, they don't seem much better than the demos people were giving ten years ago, in academic competitions, etc.

From what I remember from ~10 years ago (and a quick glance at Youtube videos from then confirms it) the state back then was roughly:

- DARPA challenges where cars were driving on dirt roads at about walking speed

- High speed driving on completely closed of racing tracks (with no other cars present), e.g. BMW i330

- Simulated real world conditions on closed of tracks with the system significantly slowing down at intersections and pretty reliably producing slow speed crashes

Compared to what that video is showing, that's night and day.
That's how it started, but nowadays Credit Score type data is a tiny fraction of what goes into SCS. The SCS is affected by things like playing loud music, eating on public transport, traffic violations, not showing up to restaurant or hotel bookings, not sorting your domestic waste, and loads more. You can gain SCS by donating blood, volunteering, etc. It is widely believed social media posting heavily affects SCS, and there are many example of people's scores diving after they had posts blocked, but the authorities won't come clean about it.

As of mid 2019 26 million air tickets and over 4 million high speed rail tickets were refused based on SCS. Also some personal information is openly published about people with low SCS.
Off-topic, but a book or article though could be something totally different than "modern science".

Even if it mentions dozens of studies.

You can find a book on every position in science. In some you can find tens, or thousands supporting a position. And they all references studies and statistics, and such.

But they can still not reflect any real consensus in "modern science".

Either because they cherry pick from a side far away from the consensus (e.g. there are hundreds of such books from climate change denier scientists, but the consensus is elsewhere).

Or because the consensus itself is broken to 2 or more equally strong directions.

I now tend to only consider "settled" science (and that's mostly "settled for now") what has been studied and distilled so long, it's in 101 university books and such.
Well this is no accident. The whole of HN has been Signal jerking for weeks now to the point where it is really obscene, with no consideration for the inherent flaws of Signal. If a community of supposedly technological savvy people care so little for what matters then we won't get something better, and in that case I'm sticking with WhatsApp unless others go to XMPP or Matrix.

Tether is completely and utterly toxic to US banks. So much so that when they bought Noble bank in Puerto Rico, Noble was driven into bankruptcy because their US mainland correspondent bank cut them off instantly and absolutely nobody would touch the relationship. There was an entire saga with them trying to find a US correspondent bank, and getting shut down by each and every one, one at a time. I can say with total and complete confidence that there is no correspondent bank in the US. Remember, this is why they had to bank with money launderer CryptoCapital in the first place.

Further, one of the Tether clowns has stated his defense for printing huge piles of Tether on a Saturday morning is that all of the major exchanges and OTC desks actually have accounts with Deltec and they're doing an intra-account transfer. [edit] it was Paolo.

Last, in their weird vlog post, someone at Deltec admitted they had a huge stake in Bitcoin, which more than likely represents the assets "backing" Tether. They printed tether, bought bitcoin with it, drove up the price, and used it to back their tokens.

You should be utterly and totally terrified of Tether and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you a bridge.

[edit] FWIW, I've heard rumors of them buying up small community banks in the US to force them to take on the relationship. You know, like money launderers do. That's the only way I could see them having a US routing number.

Populism x Virtue Signal is the ideology battle from the century. The populists believe in the chip implant and the "Virtue signalist" believe that to focus on the "Elderly" is the only right thing to do. In the middle are we, 99% of the population, in home arrest.

IMO 1.8% is bad for a region that are responsible for the technology/production and distribution. Maybe it reflects how less influential EU became in the World geopolitics?
How does using WhatsApp help Facebook to spy on me? It's end to end encrypted. I haven't used Facebook itself for more than 10 years.

In Telegram, you have to switch on "Secure Chat" to get the same kind of privacy. So people switching from WhatsApp to Telegram is somewhat ridiculous.

We have a Kia Niro HEV (hybrid with a tiny battery for regenerative breaking) and it's great, 4.5l/100km. We also considered the PHEV (plugin hybrid with battery for up to 60km) but it has a bit less storage space (because of the battery), we don't have anywhere to charge it and it's quite a bit more expensive. It can work very well for people who can charge at home with 30km commute (or charging also at work and 60km commute) though and it's still cheaper than pure electric.
It's amazing how we're making lofty long-term projections, including defense strategy, Taiwan's sovreignty and global state of affairs from something that wasn't true just 5 years ago. TSMC has lead in development right now. Intel isn't dead and it can catch up, I am hoping just as TSMC caught upto Intel. There is no guarantee that TSMC might get stuck at a node in future for Intel to catch up. Neither is there any guarantee for Intel to find a technology breakthrough and make progress in leaps and bounds.

Remember, there was no tick-tock cycle before Intel invented the 2 year cadence back in ~2008. It was a business strategy to push alternate cycles of architecture changes and process node changes. It was conceived and invented by Intel. The point is that the cadence the entire industry judges itself was coined by the leader of the industry at the time. Now, the leader's podium position isn't at the top.
Yup, if it means Apple needed TSMC more than in the other way around
> This is no way market driven demand,

there will be a point where these concerns will have to be thrown out of the window. or the epidemic will just be endless.
Call me cynical but climate change, the biggest threat to mankind right is right in front of us. We will also face the biggest threat to what made our civilization and our democracy possible, which is cheap quasi-unlimited access to energy (petrol in our case). Combine both and I don't see democracies as being able to efficiently navigate us out of this combined nightmare to come.

As you said, autocracies are efficient for hard problems, and we're going to face the hardest very soon
Very sorry to hear about the person you know with Bell's Palsy, I wish them well and with some luck hopefully they'll recover from it and get back to normal.

However, there is not yet any evidence I've seen that the vaccine can cause Bell's Palsy. There's not conclusive evidence it can't, but the FDA says: "The observed frequency of reported Bell’s palsy in the vaccine group is consistent with the expected background rate in the general population."

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/covid-vaccine-bells-palsy/

(Please do correct me if I'm out of date and there's anything showing statistical significance, but I don't see anything new from a quick Google.)

When you vaccinate a lot of people, some of them will develop medical problems that would have developed regardless of the vaccine. It's not impossible you will be proven right once there is more data, but until then it is spreading misinformation to say that the vaccine did cause the problem.

I built a tool which converts any email you send into a webpage. You can then share the page on WhatsApp/social media, bookmark it, download as html, or read it later on Pocket. It works with any email provider.

Soon, you will be able to discuss the email right on the page itself.

As far as I can tell, I can't query the database from a script on linux. You have to use their software to do the rip, and query the database.

The scripts I have are very streamlined, and make multi-machine ripping very fast. I will probably just use md5 or sha1 as my checksum.

But also, I'll have all the flac files so I can always do a full comparison to see exactly what the difference is.

Of course TSMC makes Taiwan important for the US, so in that sense it protects Taiwan.

But it is also a big game of chicken. If the mainland decided to invade (and they are not in a position to do so) the US would not start WWIII by going into a direct war against them.

> you can basically reach every network in Europe by connecting to a few large exchanges for a fraction of what you'd pay for tier 1 transit

Erm.

No. No and, erm, NO !

Members at peering exchanges can be split into two categories "old boys club" and "everyone else".

The former category are mean as mouse shit.

They won't peer with "everyone else", in many cases they won't even peer with you even if you have a decent amount of traffic related to their AS.

They certainly won't publish ANY routes on the exchange route servers.

For example, BT (incumbent UK telco for those who don't know) are famously restrictive about who they will peer with at LINX. There is an old joke between LINX members, "Q. How do you know you've made it as an internet network ? A. BT agreed to peer with you over LINX". Basically the template answer when you ask BT for peering is "NO. Go away now you silly little man, you should be ashamed for asking."

That's not to say European exchanges are worthless. They are great for interconnecting with other mid/small networks. They are great for connecting to CDNs, the hyperscalers, and the Facebooks, Googles etc. of this world.
>Google closed their servers to federalization, rebranded GTalk to Hangout

rewording your sentence:
Google stop volunteering time & resources on efforts that help others make money, and focused on only Google making money. I don't own any Google (AlphaBet) stocks, but if I was a shareholder, and someone would have told me that "we have a line item that is -50m on our statement, but hey, it is good for the competitors", I would like that line item gone.

I have faith in Google that they will try their best to make money. They may lose 1 here and make 50 there, but that -1 will be gone after a certain time. And this is a good business decision. Otherwise they would have one cash cow and 100 losers and they would be a break-even business, which is not a Business because Business = profit.
I think you summed up your problem all by yourself:

"We Cannot Seem to Be Able to Release"

Do you want to SEEM (appear) ABLE to release? or

Do you want to BE (actually) ABLE to release (though you still might not actually release)? or

Do you just want to RELEASE?

> By contrast, if I use a true P2P solution, I never need to do a DNS lookup. My chats in Signal can't be disrupted by a change in MX records.

I don't disagree with your general premise but Signal is not decentralised at all, and I'm pretty sure they don't hardcode the Signal API server IPs into their binaries so you still depend on DNS (plus their centralised servers).
it's exactly that. there's more demand for IPOs than supply of them at the moment, so people are willing to invest in less well regulated options, such as SPACs (which are basically just a workaround the regulatory burden of IPO)
You are speaking of some future state, however likely that may be, this doesn't exist now and exists on the corporate platforms now. Obtaining this information by extracting it from ActivityPub streams is also a far cry from getting the information from a centralized platform that is eager to sell it to anyone with money.

While in general I agree this is small, you could add “so far” to the end of the title and it changes the tone somewhat. These not-inconsiderable losses are continuing, and the question is whether it will get to a tipping point where network effects kick in or not. Every large change had to start somewhere. But I think we’re in agreement that we need to see more evidence to say with any certainty that the tipping point is going to be reached.
So far you've mentioned that you want to change three terms (loss, penalty, learning rate), one of them with a term which is already in use. You're basically rewriting the terminology to fit your personal preference. If you need to communicate with people who have experience in the field, all of this will add more confusion than it removes. It's fine if it helps you reason about things of course but it's just important to keep in mind that the rest of the world isn't on board.
